Well I have this particular problem and i dont know how to fix it ive struggled with it for a long time i cant think. basically my thought process is in the form of silent words that i can completely control or atleast it seems so. but the problem with this 'silent thought' is that it is purely descriptive and tells basically the obviouse over and over again' Exmple: 'that door is made of wood' 'it has a handle' 'the handle is made of brass'
it is very irritating and causes me a lot ofsuffering. the only time that i can actually hear my thoughts is when i lie down and there is no consistency deep thinking or trains of thought. the silent thinking really makes me suffer because i can not often think of decent answers to questions think deeply or positively or come up with things to say during conversations
also dont tell me that there is no inner voice [i see people on the internet get told that and i know it is bull shi t] that im overwhelmed or that i cant focus another thing ive picked up that people are a little taboo on this subject of inner narrative so dot think that you are doing something wrong by helping me im very positive and i just want to be able to think again !

You may want to talk to a counselor about positive thinking and make some goals to think about instead of random unproductive thoughts. You claim you can control your thoughts so you may as well think about problems you need solved in your own life or run through what you need to do tomorrow, what you will wear and which accessories or what you need to do at work, or something you should run through in your mind before you organize something at home or work or in the yard or whatever your hobbies are instead of descriptive narratives that don't produce any results in your life. Good luck!

In normal brain function, when you see a picture or an object, or hear a sound, you have indexed thousands of related attributes, sounds and objects with some or many of those attributes: color, shape, sound, smell, feel and much more. For those who develop dementia, that index has faded, particularly the most recent parts. It's very sad to watch someone who is losing their ability to maintain that index, even sadder as they realize what they have lost, and sadder still when they no longer realize it.

Anxiety is common for many of us today. We live during a time that violence, injustice and negativity surround us (2 Tim 3:1-5). Everyone copes with anxiety differently, you have to find the method that is best for you. We have examples, in the Bible, of people who were alone, afraid, confused, separated from family etc. and they each found a way to make it through without compromising their integrity. Philippians chapter 4, verses 6&7 encourages us to make our feelings known to God by praying to Him by means of Jesus Christ. We cannot remedy every problem, however, a close relationship with our God will help us endure. Please do not allow any negative comments to deter you from seeking peace. (Matthew 6:33,34)
